    Imagine a parallel universe where when Brian Wilson re-emerged it wasn't under the guidance of Dr Eugene Landy but instead Stephen Malkmus, Wayne Coyne and Jonathan Donahue invited Brian to play in their sandbox. This is the album that'd emerge. Each and every song on When Your Heart Strings Break album isn't content with one wonderful melody or twist when six or seven can flow throughout which is then allied with what sounds like a deep love of classic American pop. They've managed to produce an album that features along with the five band members no less than 18 guests playing strings, horns and accordion but they manage to combine it all with an almost lo-fi edge. Take the first song "Score From Augusta" straight into some surfs up perfect harmonies, a keyboard that builds throughout each verse like a rocket taking off in a 50's b-movie and lyrics mentioning both whores and lepers. What more could you ask for? Well to top it all you've got another 10 songs to immerse yourself in.

    Catchy US indie rock, filled with brass and luscious melodies. A hidden gem.
